Cannot add String labels to x axis.

[danielvivek2006]

Hey,
In ios we can add labels to x axis using
let data = LineChartData(xVals: ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8"], dataSets: [dataSet])

Why cant we add an Entry which takes String as argument instead of float.

Any other alternate except adding label outside view which is not a good practice ?

I have your problem too ,
in version 2 it could be done by using LineData but in version 3 i cant achieve this

I just had to solve this issue migrating to version 3.0 as well.

Add this to your chart set up function:

self.chartView.xAxis.labelCount = self.chartXVals().count self.chartView.xAxis.valueFormatter = DefaultAxisValueFormatter { (value, axis) -> String in return self.chartXVals()[Int(value)] }

Where self.chartXVals() is a function returning an array of the desired x values; in my case date strings.

You can also refer to issue 1340 on the iOS repo here

It Worked for me. I used XAxisValueFormatter On Thursday, December 8, 2016 10:40 PM, ghelfer <[email protected]> wrote: not works— You are receiving this because you authored the thread. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread.

self.chartView.xAxis.labelCount shows me 6 items, but I have 8 bars...

You may need to post a code sample for more insight. Especially where you're adding the x values.
